"Officials and gentry receive food from one body?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was suddenly startled.

The literal meaning is easy to understand, that is, officials and gentry receive food from one body.

And this also shocked everyone present.

They are a combination of officials and squires, the former and the latter...

"impossible!"

"Crazy!"

"How dare Emperor Yuanwu do such a thing!"

Some people screamed in fear, their expressions full of disbelief.

The collection of commercial taxes has been done before, but the collection of taxes on officials and gentry has never been done before.

This means taking money out of their pockets, and it is basically aimed at scholars all over the world.

Because since ancient times, scholars who have achieved fame have not had to pay taxes...

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce.

Scholars are in the first place, which is completely different from businessmen!

"Crazy!"

"That's crazy!"

Everyone looked angry, and one person said excitedly: "We absolutely cannot allow this business tax to be implemented. This hole cannot be opened!"

"Then what can you do? How can you stop it?"

Someone asked him immediately, leaving him speechless.

Everyone was speechless and didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

After a long time, Zhao Nanxing said in a low voice: "This is the most difficult part. You know everything, but you can only watch and can't do anything..."

"Emperor Yuan Wu not only had military strategies, but also literary skills."

"Then what should we do?"

Song Qing asked again, this was the main purpose of his visit today.

"have no idea."

Zhao Nanxing shook his head, feeling depressed.

"I see."

Song Qing stood up and walked out, and soon left the Lotus Pavilion and the Lotus Garden.

"Sir, how is it?"

It turned out that Zhou Cheng Xie Yuanqiao had been waiting here.

"There is no other way, let's start."

"What about the Wang family?"

"I will go in person!"

Song Qing gritted his teeth, his expression extremely grim.

Zhao Nanxing's words just now have made it very clear. The Qingliu Party may not be able to protect itself, so what else can it care about?

It's all a mess.

Under such circumstances, they can only overthrow the order they established!

Song Qing got on the carriage prepared by Xie Yuanqiao and led people straight to Wang's house...

At this moment, the Wang family was also in chaos.

The collection of business taxes is becoming more and more intense, and ordinary workshops and shops are not spared. Don't underestimate the power of administrative capabilities.

The people do not fight with the officials.

This is especially true in this era when businessmen already have a low status.

In the past, the court could not move because officials were protecting it, but now the protection is gone.

Seeing that the fire was about to burn them, they were really panicked!

Everyone in the Jiangzhou Merchant Gang is in danger and is in dire straits.

There was also chaos within the Wang family.

The people in charge from all over the country came to ask for instructions on how to deal with it, and they relied on their previous relationships to resist until now.

But I can't hold on for long.

As the helmsman of the royal family, Dynasty was mentally and physically exhausted.

Overnight, the situation changed.

It's so fast that people can't react...

"What should I do, dad? General Wang has sent people and given an ultimatum."

"The key is that there is no rules for collecting commercial taxes, it's just random collection."

"I went to find Mr. Song, Mr. Xie, Mr. Wu... but no one was found, and they didn't see me at all!"

"When these people get money, everything is fine, but when it comes to doing things, no one is around."

"The Li family's situation is similar to ours. Once this hole is opened, it won't be closed in the future."

There were not many people present, only a dozen or so, but they were all core members of the Wang family, and each managed a large stall.

The voice was messy and the face was anxious.

Wang Chao's face was as gloomy as water.

He gritted his teeth and said: "There is no other way but to take the last step!"

Hear this.

Everyone was suddenly startled.

Then he nodded secretly.

How could such a big family and such a huge family fortune not think of a way out in advance?

It's just that you can't take this step unless you have to. There is no other way now...

"Xing'an, have we contacted Wei State?"

The dynasty turned to its eldest son.

"We have been operating that channel. As long as we turn over, with the size of our Wang family's industry, Wei will definitely protect us."

Dynasty nodded.

"Then let's get started. Transport all the silver reserves from all the major shops to Wei State. You must hurry up!"

The last resort is to run away.

All assets were transferred to Wei State. Since Dakang could no longer survive, he had no choice but to run away.

He understood it clearly.

This is not levying commercial tax at all, but denying a way to survive.

The Wang family's business is not only in Dakang, but also in Wei State, and they have a very close relationship there.

It comes in handy now.

"Go and prepare ten thousand taels of gold. I'm going to see Wang Lun!"

"Ten thousand taels?"

Wang Chao gritted his teeth and said: "I can't bear to let the child catch the wolf. We must stabilize him first so that we can have a chance to transfer our family wealth!"

"yes!"

After hearing this, everyone understood.

Ten thousand taels of gold were quickly prepared, and Wang Dynasty took it with him and was ready to go out.

At this time, Song Qing came with people.

"Where are Mr. Wang going now?"

"Master Song, what have you been busy with these past few days? I haven't seen you."

When Wang Chao saw that Song Qing had brought many officials, his heart pounded uncontrollably.

The visitor is not good!

"I came to you to discuss the collection of business taxes."
